These clown creepers are typically spotted near the edge of dense woods or other remote and near-hidden locations, and they have been accused of attempting to lure young children and other innocents into following them into the unknown.

While some suspect that these clowns are merely part of a rather ingenious guerrilla marketing campaign for a new movie or video game featuring creepy clowns, there is also the possibility that at least some of these individuals are doing their best to emulate the murderous Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King’s classic horror tale “It.”

The semi-automatic handgun and revolver, once used “for muggers, rapists and carjackers,” were re-purposed “for close clowns.”

The trusty pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, typically used “for burglars and home invasions,” became the ideal weapon “for big clowns.”

Likewise, the scoped bolt-action rifle used “for putting food on the table,” was described as the best defense against “far away clowns.”

Finally, the semi-automatic AK-47 rifle (or AR-15, if you please), “for self defense against enemies, foreign and domestic, for preservation of freedom and liberty, and to prevent government atrocities,” served instead as the weapon of choice for those confronted by “groups of clowns.”

To be sure, people shouldn’t arm up and go out on a vigilante-style clown hunt, as even though these clowns are incredibly creepy, and could pose a threat to some, it is best to leave it to law enforcement to handle them, and at least some such reports have turned out to be hoaxes in any event.

However, all bets are off of course if a group of big clowns has moved from far away to up close and personal, in which case, fire away and make every shot count.
